Even though Bento only runs on Mac OS X Leopard, FmPro
Migrator is able to perform the migration process on either Mac OS X
(10.3 or higher) or Windows. FmPro Migrator directly reads the database
structure, data, relationships and forms within the contents of any
Bento backup file to perform the migration. Users merely need to drag
and drop the Bento backup file onto FmPro Migrator to start the migration
process.

FileMaker developers can quickly prototype new solutions
using the stylish look and feel of the built-in Bento themes. Bento
can be used to speed development with quick prototyping of GUI interfaces
due to its auto-alignment of fields and labels. Developers can spend
less time moving, aligning, or colorizing objects and let Bento perform
this tedious work automatically. Need to change a form to use a different
theme? Just change the theme for any of your Bento forms, create a Bento
backup file, and drag & drop the new backup file onto FmPro Migrator.
FmPro Migrator will then instantly read the Bento backup file and convert
all the Bento forms into new FileMaker Pro layouts. The new layouts
can either be manually copied from FmPro Migrator to FileMaker Pro,
or copied in an automated manner using FmPro Migrator Developer Edition
using AppleScript/WinAutomation scripts.

FmPro Migrator Developer Edition includes all the features
of FmPro Migrator, but also includes FileMaker Table Consolidation,
and automation of the relationship and layout creation process on Mac
OS X and Windows.

FmPro Migrators Bento to FileMaker Conversion Features Include:

 Bento
Form to FileMaker Layout Conversion - FmPro Migrator builds a
new FileMaker layout for each user-defined form within the Bento database.
Each layout is created to match the theme used on the original Bento
form. Field labels are arranged to the left of each field, with the
original field background color and text font.

 Data Transfer - Clicking a single transfer button
in FmPro Migrator transfers the data stored within each individual table
from Bento into the new FileMaker Pro database.

 Counter
and Auto-Enter SN Fields - Bento includes user-defined Counter and
hidden Primary Key fields which are converted into FileMaker Pro Auto-Enter
SN# fields. The Auto-Enter Next Value parameter is automatically read
from the Bento SQLite database file for creation of the new field within
the FileMaker Pro database. Each of these field creation attributes
are automatically created by pasting the table definitions from FmPro
Migrator into FileMaker Pro Advanced.

 Quickly Prototype Professional-Looking FileMaker
Layouts with Bento - FileMaker developers can quickly prototype new
solutions using the stylish look and feel of the built-in Bento themes.
Bento can be used to speed development with quick prototyping of GUI
interfaces due to its auto-alignment of fields and labels.
